Members of Nigeria's House of Representatives have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to brief them on its preparations for the 2027 general elections, according to Channels Television.
The call was reported by the broadcaster on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. The report did not specify the date the briefing would take place or which lawmakers made the request.
The move places INEC's planning for the next general election under parliamentary scrutiny. The commission is responsible for organising Nigeria's national elections, and lawmakers are seeking an account of how far its preparations have progressed ahead of the 2027 vote.
Channels Television's report gave no further details on the scope of the requested briefing or any response from INEC.
What to watch next: whether INEC accepts the invitation and sets a date to appear before the lawmakers, and what the commission says about its timetable for 2027.
